【解析】文章大意: 年轻的城里人到乡下朋友的农场上猎鸭, 结果和邻家的老人进行了一场决斗, 老人打了他三次, 他都咬牙忍了下来。当他正要还击时, 老人却认输了, 把鸭子给了他。有时候智慧在决斗中比力量的作用更大。
1.词汇复现题。上文提到他是在朋友的农场里猎鸭的, 因此应该落在农场里。
2.词义辨析题。head朝……前行; 这里指他捡到鸭子朝栅栏走来。return不和back连用。
3.词汇复现题。根据下文的But we’ll fight by country 可知, 是按照乡下的方法进行决斗。
4.词汇复现题。根据下文的beat可知, 两人要用决斗的方法决定鸭子的所属。fight和beat为近义词。
5.背景常识题。根据and后的bigger以及下文他同意要和老人决斗可知, 他认为自己比对方强壮。
6.逻辑推理题。自己比对方年轻、强壮、个子大, 因此很容易打败对方。
7.逻辑推理题。既然容易打败对方, 所以就欣然(happily)同意了决斗。
8.词义辨析题。add接着说; 补充说。符合上下文语境
9.词汇复现题。country rules乡下规则。指老人提出按当地的规则进行决斗, 和上文的country way同义。
10.背景常识题。既然放弃, 就说明输了。lose输; 比赛输了。指第一个喊停(放弃)的人输掉比赛。
11.词义辨析题。stand忍受; 忍耐。指年轻人相信自己能忍受住老人的三次袭击。receive收到; win赢得; have有, 均不符合上下文。
12.逻辑推理题。根据上下文这里是转折关系。然而年轻人还没放下鸭子, 老人就朝他脸上踢了一脚。
13.词义辨析题。wonder奇怪, 想知道。他奇怪老人为何有这么大力气。
14.逻辑推理题。脸上挨了一脚, 当然要疼了(pain)。
15.逻辑推理题。根据上文可知, 年轻人被老人踢掉了两颗牙齿, 因此受伤了。
16.固定搭配题。上文说年轻人倒在地上, 所以年轻人挣扎着站起来。rise to one’s feet站起来。
17.词汇复现题。missing丢失的; 丢掉的, 与上文的knocking out two teeth同义。指失去两颗牙齿的年轻人。
18.逻辑推理题。年轻人边微笑着站起来, 边盘算着他对老人的第一击。
19.固定搭配题。it’s one’s turn轮到某人了。指该年轻人反击了。
20.固定搭配题。to one’s surprise使某人吃惊的是。老人的突然认输出乎年轻人的意料, 因此很吃惊。
